the soul lives on
Is life all about pain and learning to live with it?
A diet of anguish, hair pulling, hand wringing and a lifetime of living with regrets, lost opportunities and heartbreak. For some of us it would seem so but still we have our good stories in between, things we can be thankful for. The world outside still has much beauty to offer even while we feel ourselves shriveling up inside, wasting, becoming more and more like the flowers on a tree way past their first stage of beauty, drooping, withered, blackened, shrunken, dying…. yet still we know that the buds will grow again the following year and life will go on.
“There is a secret medicine given only to those who hurt so hard they can't hope.
The hopers would feel slighted if they knew.”
― Rumi
Trust
When you trust with all your being
Everyone’s love and light is seen
See life through glasses coloured rose
All seem to wear their bright halo`s
When trust is broken dead and shattered
Truth is battle worn and scattered
All that you believed, in tatters
Nothings left, no one matters
When you open wide your eyes
You see though all those piles of lies
You pay the price at such a cost
You never regain what you’ve lost
Naivety, innocence waved goodbye
Can’t retrieve them, though you try
You’ll never be the same again
A life of wariness and disdain
Never feeling all you could
Not even trusting when you should
Life will never be the same
If you can never give 100% trust…what a shame.
